Yes, I think you did misunderstand. I created an example of how NOT to ask the Lord for forgiveness. Here it is:
"Lord, that person was so hot and you made me have these desires. Everyone has them. Nevertheless, I'm sorry Lord."
When I go to my Father and ask for forgiveness, I don't rationalize or justify my sin before apologizing for it. In fact, from my experience, people tend to be less than sincere when they rationalize their wrong followed by an "apology". That was my point.

A) "You made me have these desires."
B) "I am sorry for those desires."
I think the wording is just off a little for what you meant...
